Alone within the agonising night,
Earth-broken, ignorant, to You I call,
O Mother-Love who are my all in all,
To gather me into your heart of light.
My body vibrates with small flames of white;
Over the waters of pain, through Matter's wall,
Within the heart echoes your soft foot-fall,
Approaching down your mystery-haloed height:
The pathway of the darkness bends and breaks
Within abysses of eternal suns;
Within earth's veins and cells the white fire runs,
The storms of pain relax to silvern seas;
And all my being lost in You awakes
Within your body of unutterable peace.
